The senate, at 12:50, resumed considera tion of Mr. Morrill’s resolution declaring the prompt necessity of making a proper revision of the tayiifat the present session obviously hopeloss and impracticable; and Mr. Dawes proceeded to address the senate on that subject. Mr. Dawes advocated his own resolution, referring the subject to tho finance committee, and he was followed by Mr. MePnorson, who advocated the re tention of the duties on sugar, but favored their removal on salt, iron ore, coal and coarser qualities of wool. Mr. Morrell moved the reference of his resolution to the finance committee.

Chicago, December 13.—Edward Mulra- ney, a delegate from the Chicago trade and labor assembly to tho recent congress of federated trades at, Columbus, Ohio, ar rived hero yesterday. In conversation with a reporter Mulraney said the action ofthe congress in relation to trades unions and tho knights of labor was especially important. “ One result of our action, ’ lie said, “ is that no knight’s of labor card will bo recognized by any trades union represented at Columbus. This, you say, means war. I don’t care if it does result in war. If a man wants to work at. a union trade, lie must belong to the union first, and then he can go in everything else he sees fit. When I have troublo as a bricklayer, I don’t want butchers, shoemakers and black smiths, who do not know anything more about bricklaying than a dog does about side pockets for bones, to net ui>on any trouble that my union becomes involved in.” Being asked about the political move ment, Mulraney expressed himself as deci dedly opposed to any third party move ment, ana said that many of the delegates agreed with him. “Tho labor people,” said ho, “with their widely divergent views on the tariff, on money, nnd every other question, cannot be united in an economic political party.” Was there any attempt made to pass a resolution in favor of the anarchists? I was just going to speak of that. When the congress reached the head of resolu tions, a communication was read from the central labor union of Chicago, which wound up with resolutions like those adopted by tho district-assembly condemn ing the verdict as an assault on free speoch and all that stuff, i was rather expecting tlie resolution, and ns soon as it was received I moved its reference to tlie committee on resolutions. The committee instead of reporting the an archist resolutions back, reported this,” nnd here Mulraney produced tlie follow- company. Toamend the charter ofthe Atlanta Loan and Banking company. To regulate appointment of school trus tees and prescribe their duties and powers. Passed by substitute. To incorporate the Savannah and Jack sonville Air Line Railroad company. To incorporate the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust company. A message from tho house brought in at 1:10 p. in. was refused, on motion of Mr. Butt, the house having already adjourned. Under a suspension of the rules the gen eral tax bill was read the first time and re- ierred to the finance committee. Adjourned at 1:30 p. m. TIicT. P. A. As*ori»tlon. Atlanta, December 13.—The Atlanta drummers are making extensive prepara- the tax oil tobacco or sugar would not open a single manufacturing establish ment in the United States. Such things were only suggested lor the purpose of preventing anything being done to en large manufacturing powers and to send manufactured products abroad. The moil who owned manufactories were content with the American market. With all their pretences of aiding American labor, they intended tp keep this market to them selves, charging what they liked, and to let their laborers starve rather than give | them a chance of an extended market by which they could have employment twelve ! months in the year instead of as now four or five months.

The temperature has fallen rapidly this af. moon, nnd a cold wind is blowing. In dications point to severe weather. A. F. Cooledge, court stenographer, fainted in the superior court this morning. Exhaustion and overwork are said to be the cause. Note.—The bill for the extension of the corporate limits of the city of Columbus was read the second time in the house to day, and will probably pass during tlie pre sent session. Senate Proceedings. Atlanta, December 13.—The senate was called to order at 10 o'clock, President pro tern. Pringle in tlie chair. Prayer was offered by the chaplain. After roll call and the reading of the journal Mr. James moved to reconsider the action of tlie senate in ordering 300 copies of the penitentiary report printed. He said the house had made a similar reso lution, and he therefore moved that, the senate resolution be amended to 100 copies. Adopted. Mr. Simmons was granted leave of ab- sence. ., , President Davidson was granted leave or absence for the day from providential cause. Mr. Dean moved to reconsider the reso lution embodied in the report of the peni tentiary visiting committee, which Pro vides that all the camps shall be visited by sub-committees during the recess. Mr. Dean said his object in reconsidering was to introduce a motion to strike out the proviso, which cut off tlie per diem of the committee. He said if the legislature de cided the inspection was necessary, then the members were entitled to their pay. Mr. Butt moved that the matter be taken op at once and acted upon. He had intro duced the amendment cutting off the per diem of the committee, but as committees to visit other state institutions would be allowed per diem he thought this commit tee should also have it. Mr. Pnropil Qniii hn favored paving the en from before the senate until he and the other men who thought with him should have a chance to say what they thought about it.

Detroit, December 13.—A new phase ot trouble among the building trades has de veloped in this city. Some time ago tha brickmakers’ exehango was organized, all but three or four manufacturers in this lo cality being interested. It was decided by tlie exchange to boycott all contractors dealing with outside manufacturers, and a stop to building will result. Alexander Chapaton, jr., one of the largest coutrao- ors in this city, was the first to suffer from tlie boycott, and as a result work on the new mammoth seed warehouse being built by him for D. M. Ferry & Co. will cease, and several other large buildings will in a like manner be delayed. A NEW DEVELOPMENT. Tho .lljdtirtuus BUI Muu in the Cluvoriud Cade. Richmond, Va., December 13.—Pending the trial of CluveriuB, a colored waiter at the hotel testified that ho saw an old man with Lilian Madison nnd Cluveritis in the hotel parlor on tho afternoon of the night she was murdered. The old inau could not be found,although the detectives vigorous ly searched for him. Since Claverlus was respited by the governor to tho 14th of January next, an old man lias been arrest ed by Captain Charles Epps, of the Rich mond police. Captain Epps refuses to give ttic name of the party arrested, but stntes that the old ninn is a Richmond mechanic who admits that lie met Miss Madison on the struct near the American hotel on the day in question; that she asked him to show her to the ladies’ parlor of the hotel ; that he did so, and left lier with Cluverius, and knew nothing more about the case. This is all that has ns yet been given out. Despite the relioenoo of Captain Epps, it has been ascertained from other sources that the man’s name is William Childs, and that l-.e is a carpenter employed at the Chesapeake nnd Ohio railway shops. Ho is not under arrest. He only knew Miss Madison from the description lie had read in the newspapers, which fully agreed with that of the lady lie had escorted to the American hotel on the evening of March 13. Ho did not see the dead girl. Ito did not apjiear as a witness nt the trial because he was atTaid it would have given him much trouble. Ho is not an old man, being less than forty. He has made no statement lo anyone but Captaiu Epps and the commonwealth’s attorneys, and they are onlirely reticent. This dis covery will not, in the least, effect Cluve rius’ case, as it has been ascertained that Childs is u man of good character, and his N|U‘llintf .Uulrli rruitoily.
